It was the second week of November in 1986. My husband and I were in the Sierra Nevada Mts between Lake Tahoe and Grass Valley California. It was about midnight and we were walking on the top of a mountain when suddenly there came a noise that sounded somewhat like a very loud generator engine. Doug and I discussed the possible origin of the noise, concluding that there were no buildings within two miles.

The noise became louder and louder as I looked into the sky to see a circular object just above the tree tops (probably 60-80 feet). We never saw the top of the craft, but clearly saw six bright white circular lights shining from it's bottom surface and it was probably fifty feet in diameter . The craft hovered above us for less than one minute and during that time Doug and I both ran downhill as quickly as we could. I was not watching the craft as it departed, but did hear the noise end as quickly as it had started just about two to three minutes earlier.
